Blue Eyes chords

  			This is the transcription of "Blue Eyes" (featured in Garden State, on Scrubs, and numerous other places) that Cary Brothers sent me via e-mail in 2004 when the song was relatively new. I e-mailed him on the site, hoping someone might get back to me with where I could find the tab.  Little did I know that Cary himself would write me back and tab it out personally! 
Standard tuning, no capo. I pasted exactly what he sent me, but I should clarify that "E/B" (from my interpretation) is not a chord - it's denoting this main riff: 

   E (strum)   C#m    B 
E--0------------4-----2----- 
B--0------------5-----4----- 
G--1------------6-----4----- 
D--2------------6-----4----- 
A--2---/9-7-2---4-----2----- 
E--0------------x----------- 

The riff sounds sweet and is easy to get used to with a little practice.  Good luck!

cause blue eyes 

F#m A 
all the lights on and you are alive 
E B 
but you can't point the way to your heart 
F#m A 
so sublime, when the stars are aligned 
E 
but you don't know 
C#m B 
you don't know the greatness you are
